Was it just two calipers, or four? And did they have to mask anything off? I know when they have to do the prep work (media blast, etc) and the coating, but have to mask off a lot of stuff, it’ll get expensive quick. But damn $200. I got my greddy IM, both valve covers and both upper and lower timing belt covers for $220 at Boontek. They also have to do a shit ton of masking. ---

But I hope you aren’t planning to track your car at all. Powdercoating isn’t really an ideal choice for brake calipers generally speaking. It won’t stand up to the heat. ---
